iOS 12.2 beta 4, watchOS 5.2 beta 4 released by Apple

Two weeks after releasing the last iOS 12.2 beta, Apple is back today with another beta release.

Apple today released iOS 12.2 beta 4 to registered developers. If that's you, you can download the update over the air by going into Settings > General > Software Update on your iOS device or by pointing your web browser at Apple's Developer Center.

The update to iOS 12.2 brings with it a few notable changes. They include four new Animoji — a giraffe, a shark, a boar, and an owl — support for AirPlay 2 and HomeKit on third-party TVs, and a redesigned Apple TV remote in Control Center. The Wallet app is getting a refresh in iOS 12.2 and there's a new UI for Apple Pay Cash, too, and AT&T customers are getting that controversial new "5G E" icon in their status bar.

Now that iOS 12.2 beta 4 has been released to developers, public testers in Apple's Beta Software Program should get it in the next day or two. Apple hasn't said when it'll release iOS 12.2 to the public, but it's likely that we'll see another beta release or two before the public rollout.

Apple today also released watchOS 5.2 beta 4 to registered developers. Included in this update are some new Hermès watch faces. This update can be downloaded through the Watch app on your iPhone if you're a registered developer. The public release is likely to happen alongside the public iOS 12.2 launch.
